Kinetics and selected variables (temperature, particle size and time) for extraction of Terminalia Catappa L Kernel Oil (TCKO) were investigated using solvent extraction. Kinetic models studied were: parabolic diffusion, power law, hyperbolic, Elovich and pseudo-second-order. In ascending order, the best-fitted models at the optimum temperature and oil yield were Elovich’s model, hyperbolic...

This paper presents an analytical modeling method of optimal control variables to maximize output power for switched reluctance generators (SRGs) in single pulse mode operation. This method extends the basic theory of the Stiebler model and utilizes the flux linkage function to express the inductance model of SRG. In this paper, the optimal phase current shape of SRG for maximum output power is...

We propose a hybrid power model for estimating the power dissipation of a design at the RT-level. This new model combines the advantages of both RT-level and gate-level approaches. We investigate the relationship between steadystate transition power and overall power dissipation. We observe that, statistically, two input sequences causing similar amount of steady-state transitions will exhibit ...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

Load modeling is widely used in power system studies. Two types of modeling, namely, static and dynamic, are employed. The current industrial practice is the static modeling. Static modelss are algebraic equations of active and reactive power changes in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. In this paper, a component based on static modeling is employed in which the aggregate model is deri...

Accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. In this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

Consideration of the Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics variations of solar modules with temperature and irradiations variations is basic for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Having a simple and accurate mathematical model for the optimize utilization of the solar modules is essential. In this paper, a novel modeling of photovoltaic systems with novel coefficients is proposed for mathema...
